I recently came across a blogpost that explained one hell of an OpenSolaris feature, and a killer ZFS feature on the desktop : Time Slider. It is basically backup snapshots integrated into Nautilus. By moving a slider, you can browse throughout your snapshot backups. Screencast available !


Now, Glen Brunette developed the glue to combine the Amazon S3 cloud storage , encryption and Time Slider to provide a really neat way to backup your system. With this method, it will be easy (hey, it´s 0.1 ... but works really good at the moment) to have an automated backup at an offsite location.
